Well, my M211 is back together and running. I haven't test drove it
yet,because it was getting dark, and I was afraid it would quit somewhere. I
will wait till daylight. The oil pressure gage is not working right. I
replaced the sending unit due to a leak in the body and now the gage shows
90 to 100 PSI. Could this be grounding problem? I did clean and paint the
mount that the sending unit goes on.
Thanks,Bobby Joe Pendleton II

Subject: Re: [MV] sticking valve
> I had a stuck valve on my m-211 to, I brought the piston up close to the
top,left enough room for the valve to drop , took the spring off and tapped
the valve down far enough to use the piston to tap it up, I had to go within
a 1/4 inch of dropping out of the valve guide before it would lossen up, had
all the spark plugs out so i could feel and tap on the valve with the
piston. mine was stuck from sitting a long time, was stuck so tite that it
bent the push rod and roccer arm shaft. yours sound like if new guides were
put in they forgot to ream it to the right size or theres a little chip
stuck in there. I would put the valve down far as posible, hold it with the
piston and put a ream in that guide , blow it out good, oil it good ,and
push the valve back up with piston so you can grab it with your fingers and
work it up and down, you can try the moving it up and down first to see what
it feels like.Hope theres no burs on the valve. good luck let me know how ya
do.
